Tapes and functional films, label materials, and RFID materials can be used in EV battery packs to mitigate thermal runaway, provide insulation, and facilitate efficient assembly.
The Adhesive and Sealant Council's annual Conference and Expo will offer sessions covering myriad topics to help the industry build a better future through innovation.
This issue of ASI features a number of topics, including formulating ultra-low monomer solvent-free adhesives, how to optimize a manufacturing process with heat-activated sealants and structural adhesives, using captured carbon to create methanol for adhesives, and innovations for the packaging of adhesives.
Partnership utilizing carbon-capture-based materials aims to meet growing consumer demand for lower environmental impact while driving innovation in the circular economy.
This issue of ASI features what many consider the main trend of our time: digitalization and the move to the ever-increasing use of technology to accomplish tasks and solve problems.
ASI surveys industry leaders to learn how the ever-evolving digital revolution is impacting the adhesive and sealant industry and what to expect in the future.
Scientists have discovered a hearth in an excavation area of the Vanguard Cave, a natural sea cave in Gibraltar, that shows evidence of what one might be tempted to call the first adhesive and sealant "factory."
There are two pieces of information that have been repeatedly presented to me since I started editing this publication: one – people in this industry work very hard to create new chemistries to solve large and small problems across many, many industries; and two – the average person never really considers the impact adhesives and sealants have on their day-to-day lives.
